Is it even necessary to disable netfilter if I fixed as above?
I would just "try it" but I don't want to pull my drive if I lock myself out.

Also, does using a killhdinitrd'd 3.1.5 kernel do something to dhclient on a "240" machine running 7.2? I received errors in the Tivo UI when I tried to use DHCP; I just set up a static address and it works fine...fyi I have a Linksys 100TX (the older usb 1.1 - I believe?).

Jamie has confirmed that dhcp does not work under 7.2 when using a killhdinitrd 3.1.5 kernel. There are two possible solutions; you are going to have to search for the details, I don't have links.

Part of the DHCP mechanism was moved from a loadable module in 6.2 and included in the 2.4.20 kernel supplied with 7.x. By copying the af_packet.o module from /lib/modules in 6.2 to the same directory on your drive and loading it early in the boot process you can regain the dhcp functionality. See the thread here, and search for af_packet.o for other posts.

Someone (7.1?) has determined the kernel supplied with one of the 7.x releases can be modified by the killhdinitrd technique. This would require updating the killhdinitrd software, so it is time to petition for that update.
